Sadly if you look at the current candidates for the board, most of
them have never even been in a working group.

I usually map house numbers on Sunday morning when there is less
traffic. I use bicycle and a specialized application for smartphone for
collecting address (with a smartphone stylus).
It is better to map addressable first, say, 30 large buildings where
1000 people live or work, than 60 small

Together, we could do this in 6-12 months and finish addressing in 1-3
years. At that point we wouldn’t have just made the world slightly better,
we would have put a big dent in the universe. Nobody would use a closed map
ever again,
It would be nice to know how many of the buildings and house numbers in OSM
were imported versus surveyed / drawn by hand. I have a bad feeling about
how feasible it is to crowd surf house numbers.

Currently there are 130 Million buildings

Do we know how many of these addresses come from imports? I wouldn't
be surprised if over 90% of the housenumbers in OSM come from imports.

I agree with you that addressing is very important for a lot of commercial
(and non-commercial) map users. What I don't understand is how a paid board
would help us map more addresses.

Alex, the LWG would love to work with you on fixing any confusing if you're
interested in resuming work on the guideline - currently it lies abandoned with
the feedback needing to be integrated.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your thoughts, I have a few questions/comments inline.

I want to apologize in case you missed explicit support from me (and the
board), it was likely just a miscommunication given that the person in
question lambasted essentially everybody that he had ever had contact
with and you in discussion suggested that we simply ignore him.

Simon,
Thanks for that. I want to make it clear that my frustration is not
based on any one incident, but rather that I just wish the board did
more to recognize the hard work of the dozens of individuals who
volunteer hours of their time to this project in so many ways.
I feel that the working

I was not suggested the entire board would be non-affiliated. There
are different approaches to this and you can look at other
organizations with mixed boards. Checks and balances are possible,
especially with a membership.
Just to clarify.
Kate,
That's a great question. I recently joined the CWG, so maybe its my
job now to fix this, but I feel like generally there's a deep seated
communication problem in OSM.
On one hand you have the vast majority of mappers who don't know what
the OSMF is, or if they do, probably aren't members.
